The UWE Stadium

In 2012, we received planning permission to build a new UWE
Stadium, next to our Frenchay Campus.

South Gloucestershire Council granted planning permission for
the construction of a new 21,700 seat stadium on 9 hectares of land
purchased by UWE Bristol from neighbouring Hewlett Packard
back in October 2008. It is planned that the
stadium will become the home ground for Bristol Rovers Football
Club.

The stadium consent also includes an associated shop, bar,
offices, banqueting facilities, gymnasium, 1,000 space car park and
media study centre and forms part of the UWE
New Campus Masterplan.

In February 2016, Bristol Rovers FC was sold to the Jordanian Al-Qadi family
and since the acquisition, the Club have held several positive
meetings with UWE Bristol representatives. These discussions
continue and it is hoped the development can progress to
construction in the foreseeable future.
